For the cake:

2 sticks margarine

1 cup water

1 cup peanut butter

2 cups granulated sugar

½ tsp salt

½ cup buttermilk

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

For the frosting:

1 stick margarine

½ cup peanut butter

½ cup buttermilk

2 2⁄3 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Add the margarine, water, and peanut butter to a pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Shut off the heat and add the sugar, salt, buttermilk, flour, baking soda, vanilla, and eggs. Mix well and pour into a greased and floured sheet cake pan. Bake at 350 F for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

To make the frosting, put margarine, peanut butter, and buttermilk in a pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Shut off the heat and add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing well. Then, turn the heat on low until the sugar is well incorporated. Frost the cake while the cake and frosting are still warm.
